I highly recommend adding the boating package. If two girls aren't particularly fit or have no boating experience, it might just be a 30-minute float, but it's still very beautiful! My companion rowed seriously and felt a real workout in her back that night, though it was sore the next day. But we were still so glad we bought the package. If we could choose again, we'd choose a tour departing from Kumamoto; the train journeys in Fukuoka were just too long. We didn't take the Sagano Scenic Railway; we walked to the shrine during that time. Walking down the Ten'an River was quite breathtaking. The tour guide casually said, "You guys can go for it." It was a bit of a shame that not all of us in the group went all the way to the bottom. The whole trip was a bit rushed, but we ate well. We'll definitely come back to Takachiho Gorge next time; it's truly beautiful, but we'll need to allow more time.

The driver was punctual and professional! He was very nice and friendly, and provided services according to customer needs. The whole family felt comfortable and at ease. 👍

Before setting off, I was a little worried after seeing negative reviews on the tour guide website, but after experiencing it with friends, I think it was quite good. Our guide, Mr. Yang, was very nice; he was the only one in the group who stood out from the others, making him easy to spot. He was very attentive, and the conversations were interesting. No one was late for any of the group meetings, and the overall process was smooth. Takachiho Gorge is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos and is definitely worth a visit. However, since it's in the mountains, people with mobility issues might want to consider it.

Everyone was incredibly nice, from the order platform to the Japanese customer service window after placing the order, and even the driver on the day of the trip. They didn't push any particular itinerary but offered helpful advice based on their past experiences. The driver, Mr. Zhang, was also very friendly and talkative, sharing local and travel information. Overall, I think they all deserve a perfect score; I really loved it! 👍👍👍

I participated in half of the tour. It snowed in Kumamoto that day, and the road conditions were difficult, but thanks to the efforts of the driver and tour guide Ningning, we completed the tour smoothly and perfectly. The Takachiho Scenic Railway was a novel experience, but it was very windy and cold outdoors. The scenery of Takachiho Gorge was beautiful. Although the return trip from there was also beautiful, Mount Aso was stunning. Although it was extremely cold on the mountain and our time there was short, the later clearing weather at Mount Aso was also captivating. The ice cream in Kusanagi Senri was delicious, and there were souvenirs available to buy.
